Introduction
I have always felt myself to be an artist. My formal training has been in Agriculture and in Wildlife Conservation, but art has been the main theme of my life.
I paint native species of wild plants and the creatures they support. The pictures are about the interconnectedness and interdependence of life, our connection and our loss.
The natural world, the humble one on our very doorsteps, that is sometimes not obviously beautiful, holds delight, magic and importance and can be greatly healing to us.
The paintings show a glimpse into the world of brambles, stinging nettles and other commonly unnoticed habitats, and of some of the many intricate lives you would find there, though they are but echoes of the wonders to be seen if we look patiently into thorn thickets, long grasses and thistles and enjoy the forgotten places where wildness persists.
